Through the Portal

S. R. Karfelt

My fellow bloggers over at Read Write Museasked me to be part of an anthology to raise money for cancer charity. They said, “The theme is portals, would you be willing to write a story for it, and donate the profit?” As soon as I heard the word portal I was in. But I played hard to get. “If I can title my story Portal Potty, I will,” said I. There was a moment of silence, and I suspect some head shaking, but they’re the best of the best and they said, “Sure, Stephanie.”
They humor me a lot, but that’s not why I love them so much. I love them because they’re my Scenius, my peeps, and both my circus and my monkeys. And I’m kinda jazzed and proud of our first collaborative effort. You will be surprised when you read Portal Potty too. While the title is glib, and a bit tongue in cheek, it’s actually a serious story, with absolutely nothing fantastical. It’s a story about epiphanies reached in the loo.
